DaveN 1,118 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 A new website with loads of photos of Old Nottingham (over 20,000!) https://picturenottingham.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 It's actually the Nottingham photos filtered out from Picture the Past. There's nothing new in there. PTP used to be Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, but they have now partially separated into two sites. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Some time ago I found a photo of Norman Villas in Netherfield which is where I spent my early years. I've tried to find it recently on Picture the Past and other websites and haven't come across it again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks GUYS! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Was that the street between Deabill St; and Godfrey street. Lizzie? If it was I knew one gal my age who lived there. Her name was Kathleen Hickling if I remember rightly. Never saw or heard of her again after We moved from Hodgkinson st. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you remember if you found it on PTP in the first place....or was it posted by someone on here ? Is it the photos here ? https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/7214-dunstan-street-netherfield/?page=2 (Scroll down half way; there are several photos in a post by Nathan B.

LizzieM 9,507 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 CT, it was in PTP I’m pretty sure. Not those photos on the link above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 This probably wasn't it, but it's the best so far. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 No CliffTon, the photo I remember seeing was a view of the front of the houses, taken from the street. Thanks for searching though, I appreciate your efforts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Thinking it over, Lizzie. I remember you said they were at the top of Dunstan street. I think I got confused because there is a Norman street between Deabill and Godfrey streets. Cliffs photo is great but I just can't orientate myself on it. The only thing I can pin down is the old coaling plant. the white triangular shaped tower near the top left of the photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 You weren't dreaming Lizzie, cos I remember the photo you are on about. I have gone through all the past threads and can't find it. Wonder if it disappeared when Photobucket was being awkward and removed photos? Having said that, there would still be a reference to it, even if the picture went. It's a mystery. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loppy, there’s a photo of me and a friend standing somewhere in Netherfield with that big concrete thing in the background, I always thought it was a monster when I was little! I’ll try to find it and post. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trogg 2,011 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I am not sure where to post this but I have found on my web searches a site on artist Rob Rowland, www.robrowland.co.uk, and I thought some of you might be interested in viewing some of his work. Many of his paintings are of the railways and of old areas which reminded me of memories of Nottingham. I have purchased one which looks like it is at the top of the stairs leading up from the old Broadmarsh, " a kind of loving". Many of them revived old memories of how Nottingham used to be. I was going to copy one and post it on here but with the recent comments on copyright I thought better of it. After purchasing the print the wife diplomatically reminded me she never went in that area with me ,you will know what I mean if you see the print, In the 60s Hucknall girls thought you needed a passport to leave the Town. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 'Publish and be damned' was mentioned recently Trogg, which is an outrageous statement in this day and age, when sueing and lawsuits are rampant, but I'm certain that If you commend the artist, you should be ok.

trogg 2,011 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I have taken your advice, Fly here are three which I like ,the first is from Nottingham, the second is like a typical street in Nottingham and the third is a print I purchased as it reminded me of my early teenage years in the Broadmarsh area, hope you like them. They are all available from Rob Rowlands site. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AfferGorritt 868 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Although I like old steam engines, I wouldn’t call myself an enthusiast. Every now and again I stumble across these Rob Rowland paintings and remember how excellent they are. Really like them, Trogg. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
